A little about the brain

Love 'em or hate 'em - these resources will help you learn the parts of the brain!

To help you to learn about how the brain works and apply that to some specific areas of brain research (which we call neuroscience) you will need to complete a series of activities in order to build yourself a new neural network.

To help you understand the human brain you will be challenged to:

Learn new terms and concepts

Work collaboratively and on your own

Use a variety of online resources

Each of these tasks will help you to learn the parts of the brain that we need to know about for this unit of work. Bear in mind that there are some people who spend their entire lives learning the brain, so there will always be more to learn.

This part of the course is designed to help you learn the parts of the brain. At the conclusion, you should know the structure (which part is which) and the function (what it does) of the major parts of the brain.

They are designed to be completed in any order....and repeated until understanding occurs!
